DECANTER: "Taught and streamlined, but juicy and plush too, tannins are ripe and filling with bite to the fruit that gives both texture and energy. Excellent character, fun but serious, lovely precision and movement from start to finish. Feels sleek and really charming with a gorgeous juicy and softly stony mid palate. Good potential here. Harvest 14 September-6 October. Yield of 36hl/ha. Ageing in French oak for 16 months, 40% new."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Maucaillou offers up delicate notes of crushed red and black currants, warm plums, and pencil shavings, plus wafts of lavender and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is tight-knit and refreshing, with fine-grained tannins and a mineral-laced finish."
